      Jin kisaragi I think he is law aligned in smt4 and smt4a this is his quote from the game I am Satan, the one who stands below God the judge. I see you have chosen to retaliate, just as that man did. Then prepare, Seraph, to receive God's eternal punishment of damnation!

      @@jinkisaragi874 Well that is kind of true, there are mobile games that were only released in japan and one of them is a direct sequel to SMt 1 I believe where he attacks god for not being lawful basically kind of a crazy story because that would make him the most lawful demon ever lol. But he is nuetral depending on your path in certain portions of that story. Wish we could get those English games patched and emulated.

    man can you image the panic attack if the moral guardians of the 90s and religious fundamentalism saw these games. there is a reason why the megami tensei took a while for megami tensei to get here overseas. also still waiting more slavic and native American mythology in megami tensei.

      Meh, by the time the 90s rolled around, the moral majority had been mostly discredited. They would have railed against it, but megaten was pretty tame content-wise compared to a lot of the things being released on consoles in those days.

    I'm trying to get into these kind of old rpgs from the late 80s and beginning of the 90s. I find that many of them have matured really well, because the overall artstyle of these heroic adventure games from the west and east is very much none to be found in todays world. The artstyle and flare of the adventure. My younger self would always look upon the rpg covers like betrayal of krondor or what it was called with immense wonder for the artstyle of what looks something like sword and sorcery but yet done in a saner way. What iam trying to say is that iam dying to try all of these games out. And its not like iam a bloke that just meh graphics old ... next! Noooo! not at all. I find that graphics that are old are beeming with culture and history of the era it was made in, so you can actually loose yourself in the limits of older technology and software. Its great for the nostalgic mind and heart. But its a true battle to reach the summit were you can enjoy to the vast limit of infinity
